“
AMO DOMINI 1950 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates, and the King of Glory shall enter in” (Ps. 23) Almighty and eternal God, with all our souls we thank Thee for the great gift of the Holy Year.” Beautiful is the Church in her universality. Does she not diffuse her teachings throughout the world? Has she not the secret of teaching the rich and the poor, the old and the young, of all nations in all centuries the higher wisdom — the WISDOM that lies in the spiritual mind and the humble heart? Beautiful is the Church in her unity. Does not the unity of her organization and government, the harmony of her doctrines, the consis¬ tency of her aims and purposes, the sublimity of her ideals make appeal to what is best in human nature? Beautiful is the Church in her apostolicity. Does not her history carry us back to the time when the Roman Empire was at the zenith of its power and glory, when the little band of the Apostles received the su¬ preme command, Go teach ye all nations whatsoever I have commanded you”? Beautiful is the Church in her holiness. Does she not fill the earth with numberless memorials — Saints? Does not her liturgy, her sacred rites, her grave and measured chants, her sacraments and sacramentals bring heaven closer to souls and souls closer to heaven? But singularly beautiful is the Church in her Holy Year of Jubilee when the significance of her marks are brought to us with a new and arresting force. In her Holy Year of Jubilee does she not throw open the gates of life to all men of good will in the whole wide world? Does she not follow ' the forceful command, Go teach all nations”? Does she not continue to fill the earth with loving memorials of the soul’s trust in God? Truly we feel ourselves favored to be clad in her colors of gold and white, and joyfully DEDICATE THIS OUR YEARBOOK OF 1950 to His Holiness Pope Pius XII with the ardent w ' ish, that many souls may return to the Saviour and learn to live for Him Who is alone the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE.
